I recently purchased a custom backdrop from Backdrop Junction (MRH advertiser) Because my layout is built to allow moving I wanted the backdrop to be moveable as well. I could not attach it to the wall or other backing surface and have it moveable.

The long hanging support is laminated of two layers of 1/8” plywood 3 inches by 12 feet. The backdrop is 24” by 12‘ printed on matte paper

The pictures should show the method.

I need to so some static grass.  What is the best performing applicator?  Are expensive commercial units better than home made?  Do you "get what you pay for"?  I don't mind paying a premium for a tool that is worth it.  But I get frustrated in trying to use a poor tool just to save a buck or 20 (or a 100). 

Is the high priced Nock unit superior?  

Thanks for any recommendations.

I just read your information on gluing sheet metal to cardstock.  After years of building custom models for customers, I have tried about every type of glue you can think of. From white glues, to a variety of super glues.  Contact cement, works  well, but your method of the double sided tape is probably the best yet.
